Quadratic equation do you mean??
a=1
b=0
c=-117
D+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
D+=+%280+%2B-+sqrt%28+0-4%2A1%2A117+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
D+=+%280+%2B-+sqrt%28+0-4%2A1%2A%28-117%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29+
D+=+%280+%2B-+2%2Asqrt%28117%29+%29%2F%282%29+
D+=+0+%2B-+sqrt%28117%29+
You could also bypass that and solve directly,
D%5E2+-+117
D%5E2+=117
D+=+0+%2B-+sqrt%28117%29+
